Detroit Pistons at Los Angeles Clippers  

10:30 p.m. ET

Line: Clippers -9; Total: 216.5 points 

I am betting on the Pistons -9 points at BetMGM.

The Pistons least favorite team to face has been the Clippers. Since the start of the 2009 season, Detroit has gone 4-20 straight up (17%), 10-13-1 against (44%), and 10-14 on the Over-Under (44%).

As an away underdog, the Pistons have gone 3-10 SU (23%), 7-6 ATS (54%), and 4-8-1 Over-Under (33%). 

However, Detroit is 2-7 SU (22%), 6-3 ATS (67%), and 2-6-1 Over-Under (25%) when priced as a road dog of between six and 13 points when facing the Clippers since 2009.

Situational Trends and Angles

• The Pistons are 34-19 ATS after three or more consecutive losses over the past three seasons.
• The Clippers are 14-30 ATS in home games when the total has been between 210 and 219.5 points over the past three seasons.
